I haven't read the meat of the patch, but I have some comments on the
tests:

> +IPC::Run::run ['oauth_tests'],
> +  '>', IPC::Run::new_chunker, sub { print {$out} $_[0] },

We've recently switched to using fat commas (=>) between options and
their arguments, and that includes the file redirections in IPC::Run.
Although not semantically meaningful, I'd also be tempted to put parens
around the argument list for each redirect, so it's clear that they go
together.

Also, indirect object syntax (print {$fh} ...) is ugly and
old-fashioned, it's nicer to call it as a method on the filehandle.

So I'd write the above as:

    IPC::Run::run ['oauth_tests'],
      '>' => (IPC::Run::new_chunker, sub { $out->print($_[0]) }),
      '2>' => (IPC::Run::new_chunker, sub { $err->print($_[0]) })
     or die "oauth_tests returned $?";


As for the C TAP tests, there's already a bunch of TAP-outputting
infrastructure in pg_regress.c.  Would it make sense to factor that out
into a common library?
